A health freak mom's thoughts on health and all things healthy
….by the urut lady (Malay masseuse) yesterday. Yesterday, the urut lady who used to urut me after the birth of Baby C last year came to urut me. I was enjoying the good massage when suddenly, I felt some pain at my lower abdomen. She told me that my uterus had ‘jatuh ke bawah’ (fallen…
I anticipate that it will take another 3-4 weeks before my sweetiepie goes for a surgery. By the time the surgery date is fixed, my sweetiepie would have already celebrated her first birthday. First we need to find a surgeon in KL who will agree to the MAG 3 scan to be performed on Baby…
After coughing like a TB sufferer for almost a week, my right ribs hurt as if someone had just given me a good punch on the ribcage. It’s so painful that I have to hold my right ribcage and cringe each time I cough. Jogging has also been torturous for me as my ribcage would…

Baby C’s pee started to smell foul again yesterday. I had expected this to happen coz her UTI attacks is a monthly affair. Today being a Sunday, we had to pay the lab staff of a private hospital double the charges for a urine FEME test to be carried out on baby’s pee. The WBC (white blood…
For meat floss lovers, here’s something that’s healthier – organic pumpkin floss. It’s made up of pumpkin, seaweed, sesame seeds and soy beans. Tastes great when you sprinkle them onto your porridge, fried rice, steamed tofu or sandwiches.
Baby C loves her porridge and I’ve been making her the same porridge with the following ingredients for almost 3 months every day: Alternate between white and brown rice Goji berries or wolfberries or gei jee (touted as a super fruit packed with antioxidants and nutrients) 3 red dates 1 small wedge of pumpkin or…
